2: The Origins of the Second World War

In this episode we explore the various impacts of the First World War/WW1, known at the time as "The Great War," on the Second World War/WW2. We'll look at how the immense loss of life, the complete destruction of a generation of young men, and the trauma these problems caused for international stability leading into the Second World War. You really must look at the First World War's bitter and conflicting conclusion with the Treaty of Versailles (1919) to understand why the Second World War was possible.
